A material transfer agreement (MTA) is a contract that governs the transfer of materials between institutions for use in research. Materials may include cell lines, plasmids, nucleotides, proteins, transgenic animals, plant varieties, bacteria, pharmaceuticals, and other chemicals. An MTA is typically only a few pages in length, and addresses issues such as ownership of the transferred material and of modifications and derivatives made by the recipient, limits on the use and further dissemination of the material by the recipient, publication rights and confidentiality, and rights to inventions and research results.
